Among the conflicts that convulsed Europe during the nineteenth century, none was more startling and consequential than the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. Deliberately engineered by Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the war succeeded in shattering French supremacy, deposing Napoleon III, and uniting a new German Empire. But it also produced brutal military innovations and a precarious new imbalance of power that together set the stage for the devastating world wars of the next century.Today's guest is Rachel Chrastil, author of “Bismarck's War: The Franco-Prussian War and the Making of Modern Europe.” We see how the war reshaped and blurred the boundaries between civilian and soldier as the fighting swept across France by bolstering a unified Germany to contributing to the development of modern warfare.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

Iana Boyd grew up in Bulgaria, dreaming of the world beyond the Iron Curtain depicted in the postcards that decorated her walls. With scant options for clothing, Iana taught herself to sew and dressed her sisters, cementing their relationship as her biggest fans and biggest critics. When the Curtain fell, Iana attended college in the US and then powered her way up the Maersk corporate ladder, blending in nicely in top-tier designer suits.Twenty years after entering the corporate world, Iana left to focus on family and pick up the creative threads. She had discovered along the way that blending in was no longer appropriate or useful. She called on the talents, experience, and counsel of her sisters and friends across Europe and formed her knitwear line, Biana. Shaped by the need to stand out when necessary, to be comfortable always, and to suit the zeitgeist of the Post-Covid era, Biana offers the sophisticated woman the ease of beautifully designed, high-quality knit sportswear and dresses. Nothing happened quite as smoothly as that summary suggests. The details of Iana's dream-coming-true personal story and a rich description of the nature, manufacturing, and fit of Biana knits unfold in our conversation.  May you find Iana's story of business, family, and design as fascinating as I do!Looking for more?

One day, three decades after the event, the German poet and man of letters, Heinrich Heine, stood on the site of the battle of Marengo, one of Napoleon's earliest and most important victories and had an epiphany - or he invented one for his readers: ""Gradually, day by day, foolish national prejudices are disappearing; all harsh differentiations are lost in the generality of European civilization. There are no more nations in Europe, only parties; and it is marvellous to see how these parties, for all their varying colouration recognize one another and how they understand one another, despite many differences in language." This move past national differences would be a force for unalloyed good because, if Europeans could see themselves as a unified "civilisation" then their example would be a force that "could" lead to the liberation of the world from prejudice. Well, he was a child of the romantic age, you can forgive his enthusiastic language but his vision anticipates the principles that created and still guide the EU. The writer produced astounding amounts of work: poetry, verse dramas, and essays and letters while conducting love affairs and just generally being in the public eye. His poetry became the lyrical basis for lieder by Schubert, Schumann and many others. He had huge appeal in the middle of the 19th century. George Eliot wrote four monographs about him including one on his wit - bitterly ironic ,very Jewish. Today he is remembered in the English speaking world for this quote, "Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too." When the Nazis held their book burnings outside the Berlin Opera House, Heine's were among those immolated. And when the Nazis initiated the war that would burn down a significant portion of the Europe Heine dreamed of, the connection to much of 19th century German culture was cut including the life and work of Heinrich Heine. Michael Goldfarb tells the story of Heine's life and the Europe in which he lived through interviews and using the musical settings of his poetry in lieder, readings from his poetry and plays, and George Eliot's perceptive comments. Heine's was a tremendous life - he endured censorship and was harassed by the police spies of the Federated German speaking nations. He lived as a celebrity - albeit an impecunious one - despite the fact his uncle was one of the German-speaking world's richest men. All the drama created a truly contemporary, 21st century sensibility Producer: Julia Hayball Readers: Jonathan Keeble, Robbie Stevens, Clare Corbett and Pavel Douglas Sound design: Chris Maclean A Certain Height production for BBC Radio 3

Bukovina, a former borderland of the Habsburg empire now divided between Ukraine and Romania, was a place of mutual observation, competition, and conflict between the different states and governments that laid claim to the territory. Over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the province experienced repeated regime changes – many of which occurred seemingly overnight. This talk explores how the shared challenges of governing Bukovina facilitated mutual influences between regimes that otherwise viewed each other as ideological opposites. About the Speaker: Cristina Florea is an Assistant Professor in Modern European history at Cornell University, researching and teaching the histories of Eastern and Central Europe and the Soviet Union in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a focus on borderlands, imperial entanglements and competition, and the interplay of nationalisms and empires in the region.

This episode explores two women who purposefully chose to have black doulas/ midwives for several reasons including wanting to be "heard" and fear of black maternal and infant death rates. I also share my own story as it relates to both the infant and the maternal mortality rate. Here are a few stats I pulled from the article discussed: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stresses that because Black women have a higher chance of developing chronic diseases associated with pregnancy-related mortality, it's critical they have constant support and education throughout their pregnancy to improve outcomes. Compared with white women, Black women experience higher mortality from cardiomyopathy, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and hemorrhaging, according to a study by the Women's Health Research Institute in New York. Black mothers may also fear for their own lives. Black women have a maternal mortality rate of 37.3 per 100,000 live births, which is more than twice the rate of white women (14.9 per 100,000 live births), according to a 2020 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Modern European medicine has always been against us,” Hylton said, referring to Black women. “A lot of (women of color) don't make it through childbirth.” Article Mentioned: https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2020/10/01/black-mothers-seek-midwives/ Article Mentioned: https://madamenoire.com/1301447/christina-elmore-black-midwives/

#219 Modern European Infrastructure for Upper Austria

Considered the indigenous Europeans, the Basques have called Northeastern Spain and Southwestern France home since the dawn of civilization. And yet, until recently, their origins have remained unknown. Who are these pastoral people who live along the Spanish/French border? Where did they come from? And what is their standing in Modern European society?

As I was reading through the story of Estado da India or Portugese India, I came across very interesting material around how the modern Europeans, who arrived in the Indian Malabar coast via the Oceanic routes, found themselves totally unaware of the Indian culture and customs. I found it fascinating and thought I will share it with all of you. In today's edition of Masala History by Siva, we will travel back in time to when Vasco da Gama landed his fleet for the first time at Southwest India. Travel with me here on in a platform of your choice (from www.masalahistorybysiva.in , link in bio) to see how the modern European travelers completely fumbled in their first trade mission with this country, all because they didn't understand the culture. #history #indianhistory #portugal #vascodagama #culture

America's Place in the World *Chair: Professor Thomas Schwartz, Distinguished Professor of History, Vanderbilt University *General John Allen, President, Brookings; former Commander NATO International Security Assistance Force, Afghanistan (Confirmed) *Dr. Jessica Tuchman Matthews, Ph.D., Distinguished Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

John Allen John Rutherford Allen assumed the presidency of the Brookings Institution in November 2017, having most recently served as chair of security and strategy and a distinguished fellow in the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings. Allen is a retired U.S. Marine Corps four-star general and former commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and U.S. Forces in Afghanistan. He is the co-author of the book "Turning Point: Policymaking in the Era of Artificial Intelligence" alongside co-author Darrell M. West (Brookings Press, 2020)” Allen served in two senior diplomatic roles following his retirement from the Marine Corps. First, for 15 months as senior advisor to the secretary of defense on Middle East Security, during which he led the security dialogue for the Israeli/Palestinian peace process. President Barack Obama then appointed Allen as special presidential envoy to the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, a position he held for 15 months. Allen’s diplomatic efforts grew the coalition to 65 members, effectively halting the expansion of ISIL. During his nearly four-decade military career, Allen served in a variety of command and staff positions in the Marine Corps and the Joint Force. He commanded 150,000 U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan from July 2011 to February 2013. Allen is the first Marine to command a theater of war. During his tenure as ISAF commander, he recovered the 33,000 U.S. surge forces, moved the Afghan National Security Forces into the lead for combat operations, and pivoted NATO forces from being a conventional combat force into an advisory command. Allen also participated in the Six Party Talks on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and played a major role in organizing the relief effort during the South Asian tsunami from 2004 to 2005. Allen was the Marine Corps fellow to the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the first Marine officer to serve as a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations, where today he is a permanent member.

November 28, 2016 - This week, our time machine touches down during Adolf Hitler's reign in Germany, to answer a big question: How? How did this failed Austrian painter -- a little-noticed corporal in the Great War -- persuade the German people in droves to follow him into the abyss of total war? The usual answers are charisma and a ruthless stamping out of domestic dissent. But here on the History author show, we always seek out a fuller picture than we get in most history books. Nathan Stoltzfus does just that, challenging the traditional view of the asparagus sucker's rise to power in the book, Hitler's Compromises: Coercion and Consensus in Nazi Germany.  Of course, none of this is to soften the image of Hitler as evil or excuse his crimes, but to give us a deeper understanding about how he seduced a nation. Professor Stoltzfus received his Ph.D. in Modern European history from Harvard in 1993, and is the Dorothy and Jonathan Rintels Professor of Holocaust Studies at Florida State University. His previous books include Social Outsiders in Nazi Germany, and Protest in Hitler's “National Community” -- Popular Unrest and the Nazi Response. You can follow him on Twitter at Nate_Stoltzfus. For more on Hitler's domestic efforts to implement his will at home, check out our interview with Winston Churchill's great-grandson, Jonathan Sandys, as we chat about his book, God and Churchill: How the Great Leader's Sense of Divine Destiny Changed His Troubled World and Offers Hope for Ours.

In this briefing, analysis is made of the "contributions" to anti-Semitism of intellectuals from antiquity through the Middle Ages to 18th century enlightenment. The conservative, right-wing and fascist intellectuals in developing modern racist anti-Semitism between the mid-19th century and 1945 will be examined. The contribution of left-wing intellectuals and liberal intellectuals, especially in the last forty years to a new kind of anti-Semitism sailing under the flag of hatred for Israel will be explored. Professor Robert S. Wistrich has been the Neuberger Chair for Modern European and Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since 1989. He is the author and editor of more than 20 books. His latest book is entitled A Lethal Obsession: Anti-Semitism from Antiquity to the Global Jihad (Random House, 2010). Professor Wistrich has headed the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism at the Hebrew University since 2002. He was the only Israeli on the Vatican-appointed Historical Commission of six scholars examining the record of Pope Pius XII during the Shoah.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discusses the prescient thriller ‘The Riddle of the Sands’ about the decline Anglo-German relations before the First World War. In 1903 an Englishman called Charles Caruthers went sailing in the North Sea and stumbled upon a German military plot. The cunning plan was to invade the British Isles from the Frisian Islands using special barges. The plucky Caruthers foiled the plot and returned to his sailing holiday.This is not history but fiction, an immensely popular book called ‘The Riddle of the Sands’ by Erskine Childers. It was a prescient vision of two nations soon to fight the First World War but it went against the spirit of the previous century. Brits and Germans had fought together at Waterloo and had influenced profoundly each other’s thought and art. They even shared a royal family. Yet somehow victory at Waterloo and the shared glories of Romanticism became the mutual tragedy of the Somme.With Richard Evans, Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge; Rosemary Ashton, Quain Professor of English Language and Literature at University College London and Tim Blanning, Professor of Modern European history at The University of Cambridge.

The first e* post of the new academic year is a first in another sense. Previously, all my postings here have been research lectures, about my own work. This post is of a lecture I gave on October 17th, 2006 as part of a Theoretical Philosophy course on the pioneering Consciousness Studies Program at the University of Skövde, Sweden. That is, it is a teaching lecture (that I have been giving for a few years), aimed at third-year undergraduate students on a course primarily on Modern European (read "Continental") Philosophy. As such, it is not primarily my own work. However, given my rather skewed and limited knowledge of this area, proper scholars of this kind of philosophy will probably see more of me in this lecture than they see of the work of Derrida, Foucault, Gadamer, Habermas, Ricoeur, etc.The lecture is almost entirely based on the Introduction chapter of After Philosophy: End or Transformation?, edited by Kenneth Baynes, James Bohman, and Thomas McCarthy, and so they deserve credit for most of the ideas presented. My contributions consist primarily in giving examples, and an extended, perhaps laboured, Bernstein-influenced musicological metaphor, that can be summarized in the slogan: "Kant is the Mahler of Philosophy".This lecture makes poor use of the PodSlide format, going through only 6 slides in 40 minutes. It is actually only the first part of the lecture; part two, which is shorter, will be posted soon.Media:PodSlides: iPod-ready video (.mp4; 67.1 MB; 40 min 17 sec)Audio (.mp3; 9.3 MB; 40 min 12 sec)PowerPoint file (.ppt; 72 KB)
